i think i know what kind of career to look for now.
i’m better at fixing things, not thinking of things. so i will fix things.
i am not the best researcher ever. i can do research, sure, but in fact, i find i’m not the type of person who asks science related questions. when i was working for TH i loved the work, but i noticed that when i went to seminars and stuff i wasn’t the inquisitive type. i took pleasure in helping the people in my lab do what they needed to do, though. it was about them, not the work. so i won’t do research forever, just what i want to do in order to fix things.
i don’t want to fix everything, just certain things. so i will fix those things instead. education and health. i went into biology because i wanted to help sick people, the people who have difficulty helping themselves. i like education because it helps people help themselves.
i think just like with the startup stuff, the only thing holding me back is a need for financial security. this has been a stumbling block for a while.
